Can Withdrawal From Meth Causes Shortness Of Breath And Nausea?
I know someone who snorts meth on a recreational. Basis and when she does it calms her down but she takes norvasc but her heart started beating fast and she had to use her inhaler this is hrs after she does it are these withdrawal or side effects, she feels like she can't breathe and is having a panic attack what can she do to calm these symptoms down she gets bad indegestion and nausea
Amphetamine is a stress hormone. Inhalers are also stress hormones, so that does seem a bit odd. The paradoxical effect of a stimulant calming people down is quite common especially in drug dependence. Being on a blood pressure medicine means someone is NOT going to tolerate stress hormones. They are going to increase blood pressure which is already elevated. Signs of heart disease often include indigestion, nausea, panic. So... seeing that a person is not having a heart attack would be a first step. Psychological treatment of addiction which often includes issues of panic would also be useful in general. This particular patient is complex.
